Re: [mv] Any thoughts on how to implement this...



If each client has his own products, I don't know.
If the products are standards and the price personnalized, I propose this
solution that I'm using.
Define in your products database standard prices, and make another db with
discounts. The key must identify an item for a client and could be for ex.
"custommer_itemcode". The discount can be in any format recognized by
minivend. When listing the products, foreach article, make a query who find
the discount apropriate for this client and print that on screen. The
discount modify the price and your work is done. I made like that and it works
